Special Prayer for the People of China and Burma
Saturday, June 7th, from at 7 pm - 8 pm
Venerable Gyuto monks will be offering prayers for the victims of the recent earthquakes in China, as well as the cyclone in Burma. It is very sad to see so much news that so many people have lost their families and all their belongings. We are requesting all our members and friends join us in prayer with the venerable monks at the Gyuto Center. His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, has also asked all his followers to both pray and to offer help to the victims and their families in China and Burma whatever they can.
We are collecting donation for the victims and their families in both China and Burma. The donations will be sent through the Office of Tibet in New York City. Any amount that you are able to donate would be greatly appreciated. Your donation is fully tax-deductible. Please write a check payable to the Gyuto Center, and please make note that it is for China and Myanmar relief. Please be compassionate and pray for others whatever you can.
